Stupid Moon

 

Stupid moon
Doesn't care that you're not with me
It's going to go on being beautiful anyway
Just like you

 

Gifts

 

I never gave her a sunrise
Our love was always in the twilight
Never the dawn
Yet I promised her all my sunsets
and so it is,
But I think I'll keep the sunrises
At least for now

 

The Transit of Venus

 

I remember waking up in the

The Time Between posted : 07/24/09 at 09:04am pst listening to : A purring cat

We live in the time between

In the hours and the days

For the moment

The instant

Forever passing

Love, Sweet, Miserable, Love posted : 07/12/09 at 02:45pm pst listening to : Neil Young

I am love’s fool.

Sweet, miserable, love. It’s bipolar, taking you from the heights of ecstasy to the depths of despair, at least if you’re doing it right. And I, I have climbed that peak and plunged to those lows, a searcher and a vagabond. I have heard the sirens’ sing in my heart, and have thrown myself into the waves, to

These Days posted : 05/19/09 at 08:40am pst listening to : Chelsea Girl, by Nico

Does anything good ever come from midnight thinking? Bruised thoughts, battered soul, and the wolf is always at the door. Still, these days I seem to do a lot of midnight thinking, although in truth, it's actually more 3 a.m. thinking. Midnight sounds more poetic.

These days.

These days I find myself feeling hope again, after such a long time in a

Three works in progress posted : 03/27/09 at 09:03pm pst listening to : X, Beyond and Back

Three works in progress, like the rest of my life.

 

STATE BEACH, SUNSET

She Laughs
And says surely you don't believe we can change the world.
I smile, to say I do.

And I wonder, a thousand years ago,
did two lovers walk along such a beach,
and say these things we say.


A SUNDAY AFTERNOON

Drinking champagne from between your lips
After mornings in the

My life according to Google.
 

Just go to Google, type your name, and then the word listed after it, as in: "Ryan needs" and see what comes up.

1. Ryan needs: "a bra." Okay, what's missing is the Meg, that appeared before Ryan, but you take what you get. Further down, it said: "his ass kicked." That's more like it.

2. Ryan looks like: "some sketchy

25 Random Things About Me posted : 01/27/09 at 07:21am pst listening to : Sonic Youth, A Thousand Leaves

1. I feel sad most of the time. Not debilitating depression, not morose forlorn, melancholia, but just generally sad. And I really don't mind. The greatest art/music/literature is, for the most part, sad. Which would you rather listen to, "While my guitar gently weeps," or "99 Luft Balloons." All great songs are written in minor keys, as is my
